They have one in the center of Singapore; One of the highest mountain in Singapore, There is a holy tauscha in Singapore. One of the most beautiful, the most memorable to me or st tauscha the merlion.

On May 5, in the evening, we came to the st tauscha park early, viewing the merlion, here also here waiting for the beginning of the music fountain performance. Waiting for a period of time, the performance finally started. First appeared as a "clown", baton in his hand, like a conductor. Ah, really right, he is the conductor of the music fountain performance. He shook her hand, water fountain followed his hand type; If his two hands are moving, all the fountains of water together, color of light on the fountains, colorful water column, is really fantastic!

Music in the music fountain performance when high low, fast when slow; Sometimes is the rhythm of the pop songs, sometimes is a classic old songs tone, its good to listen! Fountain with this beautiful dance music.

"Wow," at this time, there was a surprise, the original is the water curtain movie started. Since I was young until now I have never seen the water curtain movie, this is my first time to see! Water curtain movie is sprayed water imaging a screen, and then put the animation projection, this is called the water curtain movie. The water curtain movie the main character is a naughty again, lovely little monkey, called "keykey", it would invite the conductor "clown" to play with it, that is, water curtain is appeared in the movie "clown" conductor, is really amazing! I know its projection, but why really was splashing water? Hey, dont understand...

The evening let me very unforgettable, it is very memorable for me, because this is my first time to travel abroad, and in the new horse tourism, one of the most happy night was my first time in this beautiful night watching the water curtain movie Ive never seen since birth!

今年的“五一”假期，我是在新加坡和马来西亚度过的。新加坡和马来西亚的景色虽然都非常的好看，但令我最难忘的还是在新加坡的一个晚上。在这个晚上，我在圣陶沙公园，观看了一场精彩的音乐喷泉表演。

大家是不是都知道新加坡的鱼尾狮?鱼尾狮是新加坡的标志，一共有三座鱼尾狮雕塑;这几座鱼尾狮都是由狮头和鱼身组成的。它们有一个在新加坡的市中心;有一个在新加坡最高的山上;还有一个在新加坡的圣陶沙。其中最好看、最令我难忘的还是圣陶沙的那座鱼尾狮。

5月5日的晚上，我们早早地就来到了圣陶沙公园，观赏这里的鱼尾狮，也在这里等候着音乐喷泉演出的开始。等了一段时间，演出终于开始了。首先出场的是一位“小丑”，他手拿指挥棒，很像一位指挥家。哎，还真没说错，他就是这场音乐喷泉演出的指挥家。他的手一摇，喷泉就跟着他的手型喷水;要是他两只手都在动，所有的喷泉都一起喷水，彩色的灯光照在喷泉上，五颜六色的水柱，真是好看极了!

在这场音乐喷泉演出里，音乐时高时低，时快时慢;有时是流行歌曲的节奏，有时是经典的古老歌曲的声调，真是好听极了!喷泉也随着这动听的音乐翩翩起舞了。

“哇”，此时，全场传来一阵惊讶声，原来是水幕电影开始了。我从小一直到现在从来没有看过水幕电影，这还是我第一次看呢!水幕电影就是把水喷成像一块屏幕，然后再把动画投影上去，这就叫水幕电影了。这场水幕电影里的主要人物是一只又淘气，又可爱的小猴子，叫“keykey”，它欢蹦乱跳的邀请了“小丑指挥家”去跟它一起玩，没想到的是，水幕电影里还真出现了“小丑指挥家”的样子，真是太神奇了!我知道是投影的，但是水为什么真的被溅起了呢?哎，搞不懂……

时间就这样不知不觉的过去了，这场精彩的演出在美妙、动听的音乐声中结束了。虽然这场音乐喷泉的表演时间很短，只有25分钟，但却给我留下了深刻的印象。

这个晚上让我非常难忘，它对我来说是非常的具有纪念意义，因为这是我第一次出国旅游，也是在这次新马旅游中过得最开心的一个晚上，还是我第一次在这美好的夜晚观看我出生以来从来没看过的水幕电影!

Those who live in cities around the world are likely going to have similar

experiences about living and the associated challenges regardless of their

location on the globe. Most of these challenges revolve around stress which

studies have shown is a part of living. Regardless of what you do and your

profession and place stress is not avoidable but could be minimized. Those who

see stress as an enemy will probably live an irritable life which is quite

unnecessary.

How then do we cope with stress? I am going to give you tips that have

helped and are still helping me in coping with life in the city of Lagos

Nigeria, the most populous African city, where orientation of people is quite

different in many ways about stress and living with others.

一、认真审题，切中题意

《中考考试说明》指出，书面表达要切中题意。看到考题后，先不要急于动笔，要仔细看清题目要求的内容，在自己的头脑中构思出一个框架或画面，确定短文的中心思想，不要匆匆下笔，看懂题意，审清格式、体裁、人物关系、故事情节、主体时态、活动时间、地点等。

二、围绕中心，拟定提纲

书面表达评分原则有四条：(1)内容要点;

(2)运用词汇和结构的数量;

(3)运用语法结构和词汇的准确性;(4)上下文的连贯性。

由此可见，要点是给分的一个重要因素。为了防止写作过程中遗漏要点，同学们要充分发挥自己的观察力，把情景中给出的各个要点逐条列出。注意短文字数不要低于或超过规定的字数太多。

三、语言通顺，表达准确

(1)避免使用汉语式英语，尽量使用

自己熟悉的句型。几种句型可交替使用，以避免重复和呆板。

(2)多用简单句型，记事、写人一般都不需要复杂的句型。可适当地使用陈述句、一般疑问句、祈使句和感叹句。不用或少用非谓语或情态动词等较复杂的句型。

(3)注意语法、句法知识的灵活运用。(4)描写人物时，要生动具体，例如：①外表特征：tall，short，fat，thin，strong，weak，ordinary-looking等;②内心境界：

glad，happy，sad，excited，anxious，interested等;③感情描写：love，like，hate，feel，laugh，cry，smile，shout等;④动作描写：come，go，get，have，take，bring，fetch等。

(5)上下文要连贯。上下文的连贯性也是评分的一条原则，同学们应注意下面过渡的用法：①表示并列关系的过渡词：and，aswellas，or等;②表示转折关系的过渡词：but，yet，however等;③表示时间关系的过渡词：first，andthen，

finally，after，before，atlast，atthattime，later，inthepast，immediately，inthe

meanwhile等;④表示空间关系的过渡词：near(to)，far(from)，inthefrontof，beside等;⑤表示比较关系的过渡词：inthesameway，justlike，justas等;⑥表示对照关系的过渡词：but，still，yet，however，ontheotherhand等;⑦表示递进关系的过渡词：also，and，then，too，inaddition，moreover，again等;⑧表示因果关系的过渡词：because，since，then，thus，otherwise，so，therefore，asaresult等;⑨表示解释说明的过渡词：forexample，infact，inthiscase，for，actually等。

四、不会表达，另辟蹊径

中考作文给分是以要点和语言准确度而定，不以文采打分。造句越简单准确越好，造复合句容易出错，容易被扣分，阅卷场上有句话：“错误面前人人平等，文采好不加分。”如遇到个别要点表达不出来或难以表达，可采用变通的办法，化难为易，化繁为简。总之，所造句子要正确、得体、符合英语表达习惯。

五、锦上添花，量力而行

如果你还有时间和精力，想把书面表达写得更好，那么，请注意以下几点：(1)句型多样化，不要i(we)……到底，使人觉得乏味;(2)适当使用一些并列句或主从复合句;(3)进一步描绘人或事物时，适当使用定语从句;(4)适当使用分词或分词短语，烘托谓语动词;(5)偶尔使用一下倒装句，增加新鲜感;(6)适当调换一下状语在句子中的位置，使句子不雷同;(7)上下句子紧接时，其中完全相同的成分可以省略，以节省篇幅。

六、书写工整，卷面整洁

字迹要清晰，让阅卷人看得清楚，不可字迹潦草，难以辨认，要保持卷面的整洁。

七、检查错误

检查错误应从以下几个方面入手：(1)格式是否有错;(2)拼写有无错误;(3)语言是否用错;(4)时态、语态错误;(5)标点错误;(6)人称是否用错。

总之，只要平时同学们多练习写作并有意运用上述方法和技巧，合理分配时间，在中考时一定能写出高质量的作文，得到令人满意的考分。

今天是周六，伢仔早上做了一个上午的作业吃过饭后就一直抱着我，坐在自己房间靠窗的书桌前一直看着对面的公路，一坐就是一个下午，我趴在他的腿上，他时不时的摸摸我的头和后颈，其实这样呆着一个下午也挺惬意的，但这只是对于我来说

伢仔偶尔会小声说那么一两句话，“爸爸妈妈什么时候会回来啊……”“最近他们越来越不经常回来了……”我看着伢仔的脸，那是一张云淡风轻的脸，只是，眼里的哀伤太过于明显，是啊，最近伢仔的父母好像是越来越不常回家了，有的时候两星期都没有回来一次，但是笨蛋!你这样等他们也不会回来的。

我不明白，为什么伢仔那么迫切的想见到他的父母，有这么大的房子，并且衣食无忧不就已经够了吗？我就不想我妈妈，可能……我是一只自私的猫猫吧。

又是一天，今天是周日，今天伢仔还是一如既往的看了会儿电视剧，无所事事的时候就盯着窗外的马路看。黄昏很快就到了，伢仔还是抱着我继续坐在窗前，夕阳火红火红的，映着半边天，那柔和的光照在伢仔失落的脸上显得格外柔美。

一会儿，天就黑了。

“天黑了啊，他们果然还是不会回来了……”他抚摸着我身上的毛，语气像叹气般。

我一直陪着他，直到准备睡觉。息灯，月光像水银一样从窗口轻轻洒在床上，洒在伢仔脸上，我趴在伢仔枕边，挨着他的脸。突然，我感到有轻微的抽泣声，是伢仔，他在哭，伢仔把头靠在我身上，轻轻的隐忍的啜泣。可怜的伢仔，看到他哭，我的心里也阵阵难受，这个时候，我这只猫就是他唯一的依靠啊。

英语，是全世界通用的语言，只要你会说英语，不管走到哪里，就都不用担心受怕了。

我喜欢英语这门学科。最早接触英语的时候是小学三年级，当时学校对这门新开设的功课虽然比较重视，但没有安排单元检测，所以大家上英语课都比较散漫，整个课堂都闹哄哄的，而且我们的老师水平似乎也不高。那个时候，我对英语并不感兴趣。

直到五年级，我们换了一个英语老师，这个新老师长得很漂亮，英语说得很好，我很喜欢她。刚开始，我是因为她的美貌，想让她注意我，才在课堂上认真听讲的。后来，我学进去之后，才发现英语很有意思，也很“好学”，因此，我对英语产生来浓厚的兴趣。

有一回，我在超市买东西，偶然地看到了一个外国人，因为在那之前我从未看到过外国人，所以对她很好奇。金黄色的长发，棕色的眼睛，高挺的鼻子，简直是深深地迷住了我。我那时就一直看着她，当然，我知道这样是很不礼貌的，可是我就是对她充满了好奇心。我很想走过去和她说几句话，可是我又不敢。后来，她好像注意到了我，对我笑了一笑。她这一笑简直是让我欣喜若狂，在那一刻，我就下定决心一定要学好英语，一定要能和外国人流利地交谈。

从此我就经常去找英语老师，向老师了解一些关于外国和英语有关的事。

现在初中了，我还是对英语有浓厚的兴趣。黄老师很亲切，每次看到她，就像是看到老熟人一样。我很喜欢上她的课，有时我都巴不得一整天都上英语课。英语课很轻松，几乎都是洋溢着笑声的。黄老师还能说一口流利的英文，可以完全听懂老外的话，也可以流利地和老外交流，这一点，我特别羡慕黄老师。她是我的偶像，是我的榜样，我要像她看齐（虽然她是我的老师）。

班上很多人觉得我上英语课和外教可很激动，确实，我承认，但这也是我喜欢英语的一种方式。我对英语有一种莫名的喜欢，看到老外，我就像是吃了兴奋一样，就算原本不高兴也会变得很高兴。

上外教课时，我会很认真地听讲，虽然有很多听不懂，老外抽问时，我也都会积极地举手发言，哪怕是回答不了。我也不会觉得丢脸，因为我站起来回答问题，也是给自己的一次锻炼机会，同时也和老外多接触了一次，所以，哪怕是回答不了问题，我也是很开心的。

这个暑假我去看了上海的世博会，我在世博园里大开了眼界，里面有好多的外国人。每看到外国人我都会主动上去邀请他们和我一起拍照。刚开始和老外交流时，我有些害怕，怕自己说不好英语，但是那些热情的外国人个给予了我勇气，让我敢于大声发出邀请，“Can you teke photos with me？”（你能和我一起拍照吗？）当然，在和外国人交涉的时候我也碰过壁，那是在地铁站里，我看到一个外国人，我很开心地看来他一眼，可他却皱着眉头，用不标准的普通话说“不要看我。”这句话让当时的我很是尴尬，因为我从未碰到过这种状况，这次的事，让我注意起对待老外的应有礼节，但这并不影响我对英语的热爱。

从小学到现在，我对英语的热爱是越来越深。

在这里，我想说：“I love English”

For the young people, it is very important to have ambition, they need the motivation to move on. But most of them are just talking about the ambition and never take the action. The action is as important as the ambition. On the one hand, ambition sets up the goal for a person to fight. Without ambition, no one can be successful, ambition is just like the light in the dark, it leads people to see the bright future.

On the other hand, action helps people to realize their dreams. Sometimes, action even is more important than the ambition. Everyone has the ambition, but the action makes them different. The one who just keeps thinking and not to take action will never be successful. As the saying that no pain, no gain, it reminds people to take action. So we need to have both ambition and action.

对于年轻人来说，有雄心壮志是很重要的，他们需要动力来前进。但是他们大部分人只是嘴上说说，从来不行动。行动和决心一样重要。一方面，决心为人定下目标去奋斗。没有决心，没有人能够成功，决心就如黑暗中的灯光，引导着人们来看光明的未来。

另一方面，行动帮助人们实现他们的梦想。有时候，行动比决心更加重要。每个人都有决心，但是行动才会有所作为。谁只是想想而不采取行动的话，是不会成功的。正如有句话说没有付出，就没有收获，这告诉人们要采取行动。因此我们既需要决心，也需要行动。

Spring comes at last. Everything begins to grow. The trees turn green, and the flowers come out. On the playground, in the fields, on each side of the road, the young grass grows everywhere.

Spring also arrives in our school. Come and see, behind our teaching building, there are some small pear trees covered with white flowers; on both sides of it, there are some other flowers smiling at you, Some are yellow, some are red. In our school garden, more flowers are there. All kinds of flowers of many colours can be seen.

Look, there are some Kites flying in the sky. The spring wind is blowing. The sun is shining brightly. Some boys are playing games in the sun, Listen, a group of girls are singing Where’s spring? It sounds like the singing of lark birds. All these make me think that spring is here, spring is there, and spring is just in our school. Fhe boys and the girls are all like flowers in spring.

As is known to all, food is a priority for the common people. Recently, however, reports about food problems have often been seen in the newspapers, showing that people have always been concerned about what they eat every day. The reason for this problem is that some of the food producers are too fond of making money, leading to the result that they use whatever will make the food look good or taste better without considering the bad consequences. This is not normal because people just cannot live without eating anything.

So we should take all the measures necessary to forbid the food producers to make food that is not safe enough. Laws should be strengthened and the government should have more control over these producers. Only when people are no longer worried about whether their food is safe or not can they enjoy a better life.

众所周知,食物是百姓的当务之急。然而,最近报道食品问题经常出现在报纸上,表明人一直关心他们每天吃什么。这个问题的原因是,一些食品生产商太喜欢赚钱,导致结果,他们使用任何会让食物看起来不错或味道更好而不考虑坏的后果。这是不正常的,因为人们生活中不能没有吃任何东西。

所以我们应该采取一切必要的措施,禁止食品生产商做的食物还不够安全。应加强法律和政府应该有更多的控制这些生产商。只有当人们不再担心是否他们的食品是安全的可以享受更好的生活。

Time came slowly to the Qingming time.

The afternoon of April 3rd, our school organized a class five and class together to worship the martyrs cemetery. Walking into the cemetery, looking around, surrounded by mountains, quiet and silent. Occasionally, there are several birds singing, but they also disperse quickly. Most of the students were lowering their heads, wondering what they were thinking in silence. I sighed with a sigh and thought: it was a long time away from the time of the war, and the soldiers who died for the country were fading away. How many people could remember them? Everyone left with a strain of white flowers, looked up at the distance. Looking at the tall marble statue of the martyr, there was a feeling of admiration in mind, and my thoughts went to that distant age. Those young girls who are still in flower season have sacrificed their lives in the cruel war. Did they ever regret when they died? At that moment, they thought of their parents at home, or the security of their country, or just such a departure?

The worship of the process is very simple, but the atmosphere is dignified. No matter what, what is on your mind at this moment, everyone is silent and soundless. Finally, we put the paper flowers in front of the stone tablets and leave them together. The whole process is somewhat solemn and heavy. Returning to school, my mind is always relaxed and depressed. Whenever I think of that stone tablet and think of the soldier who is sleeping underground, there will be a lot of sadness and weakness. Todays life is because of them, we can live so happily.

Qingming Festival is the traditional festival of our nation. At this time, everyone will pay homage to their loved ones or martyrs. In this Qingming Festival, we can do too little or too little. Only hope that we can use a sincere heart to face our elders and martyrs.

紧张了一学期的学生们迎来了寒假。但对初三的考生们来说，距中考还有短短的几个月，寒假是一个查漏补缺的好机会。在这短短的三周时间里，怎样制定复习计划，怎样在有限的时间里提高效率?

通过这学期的几次月考，发现了学生们普遍存在的一些问题，针对这些问题在寒假里进行针对性的训练是很有必要的。

1、单词掌握得不错，却不会在填单词的句子中运用，失分很多。

2、能记住重点句型，但不会灵活变换句式。

3、了解语法，却不会做时态填空。

4、能读懂短文，却做不对选项。

5、知道如何写作文，却在写作时漏洞百出。

6、选择填空马马虎虎。

7、听力很差，失分很高，尤其是分析题。

所以，针对存在的问题，为避免以后重现类似错误，为复习考试奠定一个好的基础，特做计划如下：

1、加强听力训练。希望同学们每天听一套跟中考要求一样的听力材料。就像中考听力一样要求自己。听完后核对答案。看看失分在什么地方。然后合上书再听一遍，锻炼自己的听力。坚持听上一假期，肯定有收获。

2、培养良好的写作习惯。每天背上一篇好的范文，写上一篇类似的作文，用上里边的好词好句，对于连词成句部分，不妨每天写上5个连词成句，摸索里边的规律，在做这个题的时候，先看看里边有什么词组，什么句型，这样写起来就不会摸不着头绪了，集中练上一段时间会有提高的。

3、养成阅读的好习惯。由于阅读在考试中的比重很大，所以要加大阅读的力度。每天都要练习两个阅读两个完形。做完后核对答案，对做错的题分析原因，对里边出现的生词或短语要记录下来，有必要的要背过，以此来扩大自己的词汇量。此外，要限定时间以此来提高阅读的速度和能力。

4、强化重点题型训练。针对单选题和完形填空题错误较多的情况，同学们最好在寒假里把老师上课讲的专项练习好好看一遍，把老师讲的重点例题弄懂弄明白。每个学校都有一本复习指导的书，把书吃透了，里边的题弄明白了就可以了。题要精不要太多。把自己常错的题写在一个纠错本上，经常看看巩固巩固。

5、增加词汇量。有的学生平常的词汇量很少，在做阅读完形的时候看不懂文章，短时间增大词汇量不太容易。但假期是个好机会，可以集中来记忆。可以把几本书拿来把上边重要的黑体字部分的四会单词分期分批地记忆，每单元的重要词组也要背过。再配合着题做一些词型变换的题，学会灵活运用。

6、做几套中考模拟题。要重视往年中考题，在假期里给自己规定时间来做几套中考模拟题，做做往年的中考题有特别的作用。因为每年的中考命题难度相对稳定，风格相对一致，做中考题有助于同学们摸清中考命题的“套路”，明确复习方向，最后找出自己的不足之处，作为下一次的努力目标。

Think carefully about the issue presented in the following excerpt and assignment below.

To change is to risk something, making us feel insecure. Not to change is a bigger risk, though we seldom feel that way. There is no choice but to change. People, however, cannot be motivated to change from the outside. All of our motivation comes from within.

Adapted from Ward Sybouts,Planning in School Administration:A Handbook Assignment

What motivates people to change? Plan and write an essay in which you develop your point of view on this issue. Support your position with reasoning and examples taken from you reading,studies, experience, or observations.

Sample Essay - 6分范文

What motivates people to change is a relentless and innate desire for self-improvement. Rarely ever has history seen a man or society kick back, relax, and say Well that about does it. Not much else to do here! Within every person is the potential to achieve greatness in some form; be it athletically, mentally, spiritually. This inherent potential demands that people continue to explore and change both their environments and themselves throughout their lifes course. Never should a man be idle for too long. After acknowledging the changes a man has already made to his environment, the pursuit of self-improvement will once again stir within his soul and call him to action. This internal desire, this pursuit of challenge and perfection, does not prohibit man from being happy with his status and achievements. On the contrary, the device serves more to allow the man to constantly strive for greater change, newer innovation. What motivates people to change is the ongoing need to redefine peoples lives and identities to elevate them to higher levels of eminence and sucess.

Internet shopping is a new way of shopping. It offers a lot of advantages. The most important one is convenience. You can shop whenever you like because the online shops are open 24 hours a day.

我的童年是在廖家畈度过的。那里的风景格外的美，青的草、绿的花，新鲜的空气，我们整个村庄都沉浸在这青山绿水中，构成了一幅多姿多彩的画卷。我们几个小伙伴，三个一群，两个一伙儿，玩耍的过程中那甜美的声音，回响在整个上空，徘徊期中，久久不能停歇!

童年时，我经常和小伙伴们一起山上采野花、找竹笋、做游戏、背童年那几首生动有趣的儿歌……

We couldn t believe that it was a village. The buildings for the farmers were very beautiful, the streets were very clean and there were many flowers in front of the houses. In the middle of the village there was a school with a wonderful building and a large playground. All the children in the village study there.

The farmers got richer by planting vegetables and raising silkworms. In their houses there were colour TV sets, fridges,washing machines, new furniture and even motorbikes. All these showed the farmers life was getting better and better.

The great changes had attracted foreigners. Today some of them would come to visit it. We were happy for the farmers. We hope the farmers will be richer and happier.
